DSA) Reviews Design Conformance with CBSC Chapter 11 for Accessibility Requirements 32 00 00 - Exterior Improvements Division of State Architect (DSA) reviews design conformance with CBSC Chapter 11 for accessibility requirements. There are differences between this code and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). The design professional is required to provide compliance to both the CBSC and the ADA. The University is accountable for compliance to both the ADA and the CBSC accessibility requirements. Drawings describing accessibility requirements provide the DSA reviewer with information that shows compliance to the provisions of CBSC Chapter 11B, as well as other related requirements applied to the project from federal and local agencies. When required, at least one accessible route shall be provided from public transportation stops, accessible parking and accessible passenger loading zones, and public streets or sidewalks to the accessible building entrance they serve. When applicable, at least one accessible route shall connect accessible buildings, facilities, elements, and spaces that are on the same site. The accessible route shall coincide, to the maximum extent feasible, with the approved main campus circulation routes. 32 01 90 - Operation and Maintenance of Planting Planting Guarantee: During the Guarantee to Repair Period specified in the General Conditions the Contractor shall be liable for damages to all trees covered by the provisions of this Section. Compensation to the University shall be as outlined below. Contractor will not be held responsible for damages due to vandalism or freak acts of nature during the guarantee period. Immediately report such conditions to the University's Representative. Protection and Preservation Procedures On any site survey map, all trees should be identified whose root systems are likely to be impacted by construction equipment, staging areas, proposed walks and roads, utility corridors, and any cut or fill activities. A tree protection zone (TPZ) shall be established to encompass the critical root zone (CRZ) and maintained for all trees to be preserved in a construction site. TPZ should be determined by the tree size, health, how the species responds to construction damage, and should be adjusted according to specific tree and site factors; calculated as 1.50’x the diameter at breast height (DBH) of the tree in inches. For example, a healthy California black walnut with a 30” diameter. = 1.50’ X 30” = 45’ radius TPZ. At no time should the TPZ be less than a radius of 6’. The TPZ must be clearly identified as an exclusion zone, where construction and equipment use is prohibited, and must be fenced before demolition to avoid damage. A barrier shall be constructed for each tree or grouping of trees to protect the trunk and root systems. Chain link 6’ fencing shall be the approved barrier material. No root raking shall be allowed within any tree protection zone at any time during clearing, grading, or construction of a project. No equipment or vehicle shall be parked or construction material stored, or substances poured or disposed of or placed within any tree protection zone at any time during clearing or construction of a project. Vigilance is required to protect trees on construction sites. Monitoring of tree health during and after construction on a regular, frequent basis shall apply to all trees intended for preservation. Monitoring shall be executed by a registered arborist or appointee and shall include watching for signs of tree stress, such as dieback, leaf loss, or general decline in tree health or appearance. Pruning Materials • Pruning materials shall be in accordance with current horticultural practices. • Pruning sterilant shall be Physan 20 Fertilome Type A, or diluted bleach. Fencing Fencing Materials: 11-gauge galvanized 6' high chain-link fence with galvanized steel posts at 10' o.c. minimum. A continuous 6' high temporary chain-link fence will be erected around trees with a caliper of 4" or larger at the dripline, in order to prevent soil compaction, limb damage, or the accidental introduction of toxic materials into the root zone. Fence can be erected around groups of adjacent trees where possible. Otherwise, fence to be erected around individual tree. The fence will be removed only at the end of construction, as approved by the University's Representative. Plant Material Protection: Provide protection for all plant materials designated to be retained. Contractor is responsible for replacing damaged plant life with approved equivalent. New and existing plant materials shall not be allowed to deteriorate and shall be maintained in a healthy and vigorous condition during the course of construction and maintenance period. During the course of construction the Contractor shall take all necessary precautions, as outlined herein, to protect existing plant materials to be preserved from injury and death. Protection shall be given to the roots, trunk, and foliage. The Contractor shall conduct operations continually to completion, unless weather conditions are prohibitive. Provide ample water supply of potable quality and sufficient quantity for all operations required under this Section. Trees subject to the provisions of this Section, which have been injured shall be repaired immediately by a certified Arborist. Repairs shall include removal of rough edges, sprung bark and severely injured branches as directed by the Arborist. Necessary measures shall be taken to maintain healthy living conditions for existing plant materials to be preserved. Such measures shall include monthly washing of leaves for the removal of dust, regular irrigation, root feeding, etc. Tree protection fencing shall be installed for the protection of existing trees to be preserved. No construction, demolition, or work of any nature will be allowed within the fenced area without prior written approval by the University's Representative. • Approval by the University's Representative for work within the fenced area shall not release the Contractor from any of the provisions specified herein for the protection of existing trees to be preserved. • During the course of construction of approved work within the fence area, no roots shall be cut without prior written approval by the University's Representative. During construction, the existing site surface drainage patterns shall not be altered within the area of the drip line of existing plant materials. Contractor shall not alter the existing water table within the area of the drip line of existing plant materials. Do not permit the following within the drip line of any existing tree or shrub to be preserved: • Storage or parking of automobiles or other vehicles. • Stockpiling of building materials, refuse or excavated materials. • Skinning or bruising of bark. • Use of trees as support posts, power poles, or signposts; anchorage for ropes, guy wires, or power lines; or other similar functions. • Dumping of poisonous materials on or around plant materials and roots. Such materials include but are not limited to paint, petroleum products, dirty water, or other deleterious materials. • Cutting roots by utility trenching, foundation digging; placement of curbs and trenches, and other miscellaneous excavation without prior written approval by the University's Representative. • Damage to the trunk, limbs, or foliage caused by maneuvering vehicles or stacking material or equipment to close to the plant. • Compaction of the root area by movement of trucks or grading machines; storage of equipment, gravel, earth fill, or construction supplies; etc. • Excessive water or heat from equipment, utility line construction, or burning of trash under or near shrubs or trees. • Damage to root system from flooding, erosion, and excessive wetting and drying resulting from watering and other operations. Excavation around trees • Excavation within the drip lines of trees shall be done only where absolutely necessary, under the direction of a Certified Arborist and with prior approval from the University's Representative. • Where trenching for utilities is required within drip lines, tunneling under and around roots shall be by hand digging. Main lateral roots and taproots shall not be cut. Smaller roots that interfere with installation of new work may be cut with prior approval from certified Arborist. • Where excavation of new construction is required within drip line of trees, hand excavation shall be employed to minimize damage to root system. Roots shall be relocated in backfill areas wherever possible. If large, main lateral roots are encountered, they shall be exposed beyond excavation limits as required to bend, and relocate without breaking. If encountered immediately adjacent to location of new construction and relocation is not practical, roots shall be cut approximately 6 inches back from new construction under the direction of a certified Arborist. • Exposed roots shall not be allowed to dry out before permanent backfill is placed. Temporary earth cover shall be provided, or roots shall be packed with wet peat moss or four layers of wet, untreated burlap and temporarily supported and protected from damage until permanently relocated and covered with backfill. The cover over the roots shall be wetted to the point of runoff daily. • Branching structure shall be thinned in accordance with National Arborists Association "Pruning Standards and Principles" to balance loss of root system caused by damage or cutting of root system. Thinning shall not exceed 30 percent of existing branching structure. Tree Trimming A Certified Arborist, shall

The Lord Howe Island endemic palm Hedyscepe canterburyana is restricted to two mountains above 300 m altitude. Predation by the introduced Black Rat (Rattus rattus) is known to significantly reduce seedling recruitment. We examined the variation in Hedyscepe in terms of genetic variation, morphology, reproductive output and demographic structure, across an altitudinal gradient.

  • How Sympatric Is Speciation in the Howea Palms of Lord Howe Island?

Population genetic and ecological data are necessary to provide a more coherent and comprehensive understanding of this emerging model system. Here, we analyse data on abundance, juvenile recruitment, pollination mode and genetic variation and structure in both species. We find that Howea forsteriana is less abundant than Howea belmoreana. The genetic data based on amplified fragment length polymorphisms markers indicate similar levels of variation in the two species, despite the estimated census population size of H. belmoreana being three times larger than that of H. forsteriana. Genetic structure within species is low although some weak isolation by distance is detectable.

In July 2013, a total of 86 full floristic and 105 rapid floristic sites were sampled across the island, based on a stratified random sampling design. A hierarchical agglomerative clustering strategy (Flexible UPGMA) and Bray-Curtis dissimilarity coefficient with default beta, along with nearest neighbour analysis to identify anomalous site allocations, was used to analyze the floristic data. In total 33 vegetation communities were delineated and mapped: 19 mapping units from the full floristic analysis; 7 variants identified within five of the above 19 groups; 3 mapping units from analysis of canopy- only floristic data; and 4 mapping units recognised in previous studies that are mapped but were not sampled in this survey.

  • I Is the Sunda-Sahul Floristic Exchange Ongoing?
    Is the Sunda-Sahul floristic exchange ongoing? A study of distributions, functional traits, climate and landscape genomics to investigate the invasion in Australian rainforests By Jia-Yee Samantha Yap Bachelor of Biotechnology Hons. A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at The University of Queensland in 2018 Queensland Alliance for Agriculture and Food Innovation i Abstract Australian rainforests are of mixed biogeographical histories, resulting from the collision between Sahul (Australia) and Sunda shelves that led to extensive immigration of rainforest lineages with Sunda ancestry to Australia. Although comprehensive fossil records and molecular phylogenies distinguish between the Sunda and Sahul floristic elements, species distributions, functional traits or landscape dynamics have not been used to distinguish between the two elements in the Australian rainforest flora. The overall aim of this study was to investigate both Sunda and Sahul components in the Australian rainforest flora by (1) exploring their continental-wide distributional patterns and observing how functional characteristics and environmental preferences determine these patterns, (2) investigating continental-wide genomic diversities and distances of multiple species and measuring local species accumulation rates across multiple sites to observe whether past biotic exchange left detectable and consistent patterns in the rainforest flora, (3) coupling genomic data and species distribution models of lineages of known Sunda and Sahul ancestry to examine landscape-level dynamics and habitat preferences to relate to the impact of historical processes. First, the continental distributions of rainforest woody representatives that could be ascribed to Sahul (795 species) and Sunda origins (604 species) and their dispersal and persistence characteristics and key functional characteristics (leaf size, fruit size, wood density and maximum height at maturity) of were compared.

  • Conservation Issues for the Vascular Flora of Lord Howe Island
    490 Cunninghamia 8(4): 2004 Auld & Hutton, Plant conservation on Lord Howe Island Conservation issues for the vascular flora of Lord Howe Island Tony D. Auld1 and Ian Hutton2 1Biodiversity and Conservation Science Section, Department of Environment and Conservation (NSW) PO Box 1967 Hurstville NSW 2220, AUSTRALIA Email: [email protected] 2PO Box 157 Lord Howe Island, NSW 2898 AUSTRALIA Abstract: The flora of the Lord Howe Island Group (31°30’S, 159°05’E) comprises a unique mix of elements of Australian, New Zealand and New Caledonian floras. It is significant for its high degree of endemism and for its structural and biological (leaves, flowers, fruit) role in supporting a diverse array of fauna. Conservation of this flora is dependant upon: reducing current habitat degradation (mostly the result of exotic weeds); minimising any future impacts, in particular the effects of climate change on the unique cloud forests of the southern mountains and the continued introduction and spread of weeds and the pathogen Phytophthora cinnamomi. We provide a description of the nature of the major threats to the flora and suggest an area-based scheme, focussed on the relative conservation significance of remaining vegetation, as a mechanism for developing priorities for threat mitigation activities. While a number of threat control works are in place, eg. weed control, some re-emphasis is needed. In addition, some new initiatives are required including: reducing the rate of introductions of new exotics; a system to remove potential environmental weeds from the settlement area; phytosanitary guidelines; pathogen quarantine measures; search and removal of environmental weeds from remote areas; and ex situ initiatives for plant species restricted to the cloud forests of the southern mountains.
